Didi you know this? About Keisha Castle-Hughes and the Game of Thrones.
In the current season 5 of Game of Thrones, Keisha is playing the part of Obara Sand. A part she knew she could fit as being a big fan. Keisha was a reader of the A Song of Ice and Fire novels long before it was announced that HBO was going to adapt them into a G.O.T. TV series. So when the TV adaptation started to air on HBO she watched it avidly, but when Oberyn Martell was introduced in Season 4, she started to wonder if she could obtain a role in the show.
Keisha Castle-Hughes on the Sand Snakes role....
"When Pedro showed up, I said, ‘Who is this person?’ He was sexy and powerful and devilish. I went back to the books. I remembered the Sand Snakes. I felt I could pass as Pedro's daughter. And then I campaigned with the series’ London casting directors. I was definitely persistent."
When she got the chance to show what she can do and they liked her. She went out and was trained in the Chinese martial art wushu for the role.
Rewind, Revolves around a team of military field operatives and civilian scientists who must use untested technology to travel back in time to alter past events in order to change the future and avoid a devastating terrorist attack.

With the season 5 debut of (Obara Sand)Keisha Castle-Hughes in Game of Thrones. She has put herself in a more badass level now! So with having some fun with that. Here is the new tough guy or gal's tattoo for our pic of the day!!
Don’t be fooled by the title of HBO’s newest behind the scenes peek of the upcoming fifth season of Game of Thrones: the weapons of Dorne aren’t just whips and steel, they’re sex and badassery.
This featurette gives us the best look yet at the Sand Snakes, the late Oberyn Martell’s (Pedro Pascal) bastard daughters by Ellaria Sand (Indira Varma). They’ll be played by beautiful young actresses Jessica Henwick (Nymeria Sand) , Rosabell Laurenti Sellers (Tyene Sand), and Keisha Castle-Hughes (Obara Sand), and each one is paired with a specific type of lethal Dornish weapon.
Obara, being the oldest, takes after her father and is deadly with a spear.
Middle child Nymeria will depart from her book weapon of choice and instead wield some nasty-looking daggers.
Youngest Nymeria will wield a mean whip. Yeah, “deadly, nasty, mean” that’s the style of the Sand Snakes, alright.
The sisters all share the last name “Sand,” the bastard title of Southern Westeros (like John “Snow” is Northern) share a mother in this iteration. It might irk fans of the Song of Ice and Fire books by George R.R. Martin as in the text each of the Sand Snakes had a different mother. Also in the book, Nymeria was more of a poisoning gal. But if TV shows were like the source material, we would have seen the Lazarus Pit on Arrow by now. We haven’t. Conclusion: TV shows adapt for thrills and simplicity.
And, you know, sometimes just to add nipples to some armor. I can hear you through the screen: “Oh, NOW I remember where I’ve heard of the Sand Snakes before.”
Yes, denizens of the internet, these costumes have nipples on them. I bet you didn’t notice. When photos of the cast leaked from filming last year, this seemed like a Joel Schumacher level mistake. The nipples are still there, but – as in the Obara still above – don’t seem to be the Earth-shattering big deal on screen as they were on set.
The focus of the whole thing seems to be on building Westeros, something the HBO Adaptation has been doing a stellar job of thus far. Giving Obara a vengeful gaze and her father’s spear design, plus casting ladies that look attractive enough to actually be offspring of Pedro Pascal and Indira Varma goes a long way to softening the nipple armor.
Although if the upcoming Season 5 has lessons to teach with the Sand Snakes and the structure-breaking Cersei flashback sequences we’ve been told to expect, I can’t imagine anything is good about being a young woman wronged in Westeros.
Game of Thrones Season 5 returns to HBO and your friend’s HBO Go account you’ve been stealing from him on Sunday, April 12.
